Denmark Pushes Back On Trump Greenland Remarks
5 days ago
Denmark’s prime minister is pushing back after President Donald Trump said the United States and NATO had agreed to a “framework of a future deal” focused on Arctic security and Greenland.
Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said Denmark will not negotiate its sovereignty over Greenland and stated she has been informed that no such agreement was reached. She added that discussions with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte are ongoing, including conversations before and after his meeting with President Trump in Davos.
President Trump has emphasized Greenland’s strategic importance to U.S. and global security, while also making clear he does not intend to use force. Earlier this week, Trump abruptly scrapped tariffs he had threatened to impose on several European nations, saying negotiations and discussions are still underway.
